Week 2 of flowering was all about maintaining a healthy stretch while continuing to shape the canopy underneath the SCROG net. 🌸
Candy Hustle responded incredibly well throughout the week, showing vigorous vertical growth and filling more and more of the available screen every single day. 🚀🌿
The ongoing heat wave continued to make climate control challenging. Temperatures stayed around 28°C with 60% relative humidity, and despite additional efforts it simply wasn't possible to lower either value any further. 🌡️💧
Fortunately, Candy Hustle seemed to thrive under these conditions, showing no signs of heat stress while maintaining strong daily growth and excellent leaf posture. ☀️💚
This week the plant received one feeding of Orgatrex and one application of Green House Bio Enhancer, alongside RO water with CalMag. 💧🌱
The biological activity in the soil continues to develop nicely, and the plant appears to be making excellent use of the nutrients available in the BioTabs system.
Training remained the primary focus throughout the week.🌱
Every few days the main branches were tucked back underneath the SCROG net to keep the canopy as level as possible while encouraging more secondary shoots to reach the light. The screen is now filling very evenly, creating a strong foundation for the coming flowering weeks. 🌿✨
Only a very light defoliation was performed. ✂️
I removed a few of the lowest leaves along with several fan leaves that were shading developing shoots underneath the canopy.
This opened up airflow and allowed more light to reach the future bud sites without stressing the plant unnecessarily. 🍃
The slight discoloration on some of the older leaves is still a leftover from the nutrient imbalance experienced during the previous week rather than a new issue. Encouragingly, all new growth is coming in healthy, vibrant and free of deficiencies, confirming that the plant has recovered well. 💪💚
Overall, this was another excellent week. 🌸 Candy Hustle continues stretching exactly as hoped, the canopy is becoming increasingly even, and the SCROG is filling nicely. With the first flower sites now developing across every branch, the coming weeks should shift the focus from stretch to bud production. 🚀🔥
